Yep! There's always one of those big corporations or a politician behind every crime! I'll bet one of those giant megacorporate pesticide companies hired some poor, illiterate, radical Muslim taxi driver to go out and steal those 4 hives. That just sounds like something a pesticide manufacturer would get involved in.

Corporate espionage really happens.
